I may be a little off on this, but wouldn't he have been a "hero" if he completed the mission?

Update:
A coded message found attached to the remains of a hero D-Day carrier pigeon may never be cracked, British top codebreakers have admitted.
Hand-written on a small sheet of paper headed "Pigeon Service," the message was found in a red cylinder still attached to the bird's leg bone.Can You Crack The Pigeon's Code? : Discovery NewsThe experts had to admit the pigeon may have taken its secret to the grave since the coded message can't be cracked without its codebook.

make this the challenge at some ivy league college this year.
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
